Rohn bolts for 25 are fine threaded and are grade 5. However, they usually turn to rust in a short period of time. My advice for guys putting up short tower (40-50) is to pick up galvanized bolts at

There is no stamp on them that I have seen. However the ones from Texas Towers are hot dip galvanized and fit the holes perfectly. And they do not rust. Keith NM5G Does ROHN use special "ROHN bolts"
Hi I purchased brand spanky new sets of Rohn 25 Tower bolts (in the tube) from WWW.WB0W.Com. Very reasonably priced and quick service. No affiliation other than very satisfied customer. Prior to orde
Chris: In the past I have always bought mine from Texas Towers. Gerald is always helpful at TT. The last time I bought them he had them prepackaged with enough bolts and nuts for one section in each

Hello, Stainless steel bolts and nuts were used on my 130 ft 25 tower when Hurricane Isabel turned it into a pretzel (80 ft pine tree fell across a set of guys). Some of the bolts bent, but none shea
Some of the bolts bent, but none sheared. The ones that bent had ripped the tower leg rather than break. This is why different bolt types are used in applications. Grade 2 bolts stretch and break eas
Note that the harder the grade the bolt is the quicker it will rust. That is why, if grade 5 is called for it should be galvanized. 73 Gary K4FMX Cqtestk4xs@aol.com wrote: Rohn bolts for 25 are fine

Well, that was my question. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to using Grade 8 hardware? Sure, it will cost more, but you could be pretty confident they'd never break on you. -- Dave NØ
